Open Source File Visual C++ Add-In

Environment: VC6 x86 NT4 W2K
I wrote a Visual C++ add-in that opens a file that is stored anywhere in your Visual C++ x86 "Include" path. I use it to open files such as winerror.h or header files mentioned in MSDN.
The source files were built using Visual C++ 6.0 and the Add-In wizard.
To install:
- Compile the OpenSourceFile.dll
- Click on Tools|Customize|Add-ins and Macro Files
- Browse and select the DLL file
- It will add a new toolbar

Even more cool way to do so...

You can achieve the same effect by typing the file name in the FindTool (find combo box in the toolbar) and hitting Ctrl-Shift-G (FileGoTo).
This also works for opening any file contained within the active project of the current workspace.
